Although many gardeners plant trees and shrubs in the spring, knowledgeable gardeners plant in the fall to take advantage of all this fabulous season has to offer. Fall planting reduces stress, establishes strong roots, and saves money.
No flower is more iconic of autumn than the chrysanthemum! These beautiful mounding perennials are ideal for fall flowerbeds, pots, and borders. Just when other flowers fade, mums come into their glory with stunning autumn colors and long-lasting blooms.
Growing vegetables in pots is a great way to maximize small spaces. Choose compact varieties, use quality soil, provide sunlight, and water properly for a bountiful harvest. Urban gardens thrive in containers.
Understanding the difference between annual, perennial, and biennial plants helps you design a lasting, beautiful landscape. Choose vibrant annuals, long-living perennials, and self-seeding biennials wisely.
Wet soil can lead to root damage and plant stress. Improve drainage with raised beds, organic amendments, or choosing water-tolerant plants. Many of these selections can be found at Diegel’s Greenhouse.
Back in the early ages of gardening, someone realized covering a plant could protect it from frost and wind chill, preserving blooms and protecting foliage from the ravages of ice crystals and dropping temperatures.
